Portrait of an older Indian woman. Pencil notes include: "Sunday Feby 20th 1853," "Hair dark brown," and "Cotton shirt & Buffalo robe, worn skin inside out." The woman is probably of the Lipan Apache tribe of southwestern Texas and adjacent northeastern Mexico. By the time this sketch was done, Bartlett and most of the Boundary Commission had disbanded and returned east. Pratt and his son had left the group the previous October or November in Chihuahua and didn't return to San Antonio until March 1853. See JRB169-2 for the image on the verso of this drawing.
